Quarterback

In Week 1, Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens didn't put forth a stellar showing, winding up with just 13 points, but that doesn't mean we can't target him against the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. Last year, the Browns ranked 23rd in pass defense, per our Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play metric. They allowed Carson Wentz to post a Passing NEP per drop back of 0.26 in Week 1 (the league average last season was 0.11).

As 6.5-point favorites, the Ravens are implied to score a pretty modest 24.25 points (based on an over/under of 42), but Flacco is the best floor play among the deep sleepers at quarterbacks in Week 2.

Running Back

Chris Thompson, Washington (12.4% | 1.1%)

In Week 1, Chris Thompson played 39 offensive snaps for Washington (67% of them). By contrast, Matt Jones saw just 19 (33%). You'll mostly want to be targeting Thompson when Washington is expected to trail, but he might have more value than we could have anticipated.

Washington is actually a 2.5-point home favorite against the Dallas Cowboys, so this is setting up to be more of a Jones game than a Thompson game, but Thompson did get a carry from the one-yard line, which he converted to a touchdown. Jones saw just one red zone carry, but it was from outside the 10. He might not be as game-script dependent as other third-down backs are, and that's something we need to take advantage of early this season.

Tight End

Jesse James, Pittsburgh Steelers (18.2% | 9.6%)

It was clear entering last week that Jesse James had a chance to be a key piece in Pittsburgh's offense, but he actually was one of just three tight ends to play every single offensive snap possible in Week 1, joining Greg Olsen and Jason Witten.

Flex

You simply can't expect the 49ers to score many points on the Panthers, but Kerley looked like the guy for San Francisco in the passing game, if we're putting stock into Week 1.

Kerley played just 54 snaps (66% of the team's snaps) compared to 78 for Torrey Smith (95%) and 71 for Quinton Patton (87%), but he was targeted on 20.4% of his snaps (11 targets). Smith saw just 6 targets (a 7.7% rate), and Patton saw 5 (7.0%).

Overall, Kerley's 31% target market share was a top-seven rate among receivers. This team should be trailing plenty, and if you can get a player seeing receiving volume on a team that will be forced to pass, you have to take it if you're digging this deep.
